5. Giro Regime
When you want to go faster and farther than ever before, you need shoes that are as comfortable as they are powerful. The Regime™ gives you the power and control to achieve your goals. To make a shoe that can handle extended tours and challenging roads, we started with an ultralight monofilament Synchwire™ mesh upper that feels like a second skin, then added thermowelded TPU for added structural support and resistance to grit and debris. Quick, intuitive adjustment is provided by dual BOA L6 buckles, steel lacing and soft cord guides that allow for a precise fit with even pressure distribution to ensure comfort with every pedal rotation. Finally, the advanced carbon composite plate provides efficient power transfer and a responsive feel on the pedals while allowing 5mm of adjustment for optimal cleat positioning.
